I've triple checked that pins D-I connect to the proper pads. I've checked continuity across each of the wires. I've checked there is no continuity across pins B-C and V-R. I've completely disassembled and reassembled the thing two times, after the first try.

When the PS2 is in standby, the power light flashes rapidly, with no pattern, between green and red, and occasionally going to orange. When I press the power/reset button the light goes steady green, but nothing else happens. After pressing and/or holding the power button a few times, the fan and eject light will come on. In a few moments the dvd drive will spin at a high speed. The eject button will usually not eject the tray, but after a few resets it sometimes will. There is no video signal except occasionally a pure black screen, no audio except occasionally a few click/scratch noises.

I'm at a loss. Am I just screwed or is there something I can try to make it work?
